Portable Brix Meter BX-1

The BX-1 is a handy portable brix meter that features easy on-the-go measurement.

The Portable Brix Meter BX-1 is a convenient refractometer that enables you to determine the Brix of food, beverage and other samples virtually anywhere!
Measurement is fast, requiring only 2 seconds.

It has a wide measurement range of 0-85% (±0.2%), ample for the vast majority of samples/applications.

  • From Low Brix% sugar-free coffee to fruit juice (~10%) and high concentration syrup (~70%), the BX-1 is your one stop solution for virtuallly all food and drink samples!
  • Easy, one-handed operation!
  • Perfectly usable in the outdoors, unaffected by most light sources (excepting strong, direct light).
  • Economic power consumption, capable of approximately 30,000 measurements before batteries need replacement.

EMS Viscometer EMS-1000S

  • Resolving problems of viscosity measurements which the conventional measurement methods could not realize.
  • The world’s first new method “EMS (Electro Magnetically Spinning) method” changes common sense of viscometer.

The EMS viscometer is a new type innovative viscometer that changed the common sense of viscosity measurement in the world for the first time.
By applying torque to the spherical probe in the sample remotely from the outside of the sample container using the force of the magnetic field, KEM succeeded in completely separating the sample from the device.

KEM have prepared a state-of-the-art viscosity analytical technology with easy-to-use software and a spherical probe that can be selected according to sample properties, enabling application in a wide field. It is also compatible with small amount, low viscosity measurement which was difficult to measure up to now.

This product adopts part of development results obtained as the framework of JST Japan Science and Technology Agency.
(Patent application No.5093599, US 8,365,582 B2, Applicant name: The University of Tokyo)

Intuitive and user-friendly GUI(Graphic User Interface) Operation

Prepared spherical probes for matching sample propertyViscosity range: 0.1 to 100,000 mPa・S
To realize more accurate viscosity measurement, you can select a spherical probe according to the properties of the samples.
Water blood polymers resin solvents protein bitumen ink beverage heavy oil.

Best suited for Very Small Samples and Reuse of Precious SamplesSample volume required: 300 mL
As small volume of sample as 300 mL / 90 mL (Option) is enough to measure. During measurement the samples are contamination-free.
Samples can be reused for other purposes after measurement.

Wide Temperature Range
Temperature range : 0 to 200℃
Temperature stability : ±0.1℃
Heating rate : Within 10 minutes(25℃ to 200℃)

Wide Measuring Range
Viscosity range : 0.1 to 100,000mPa・s(applied φ2.0mm spherical probe)
The standard measuring cell covers the entire viscosity range – no need to use different types of rotors.

Short Measuring Time
Only 1 second is required to measure samples with a viscosity below 100mPa・s.
Approx. 1 minute is required to measure samples with a viscosity of 10,000mPa・s.

Rheological Properties
Shear rate : 0.01 to 150s-1 (depending on the sample’s viscosity)
The shear rate can be varied by changing the rotational speed of motor, flow curves can be determined.

Suitable for Very Small Samples
Sample volume required : 90μL
Measurements of samples which are available in very small quantities can now be performed. During measurement, the samples are not contaminated.
Samples can be used for other purposes after measurement.
Required amount of sample is 300μL in standard specification. By using an optional small volume container, it is possible to measure with a minimum sample volume of 90μL.

Versatile Measuring Container
No cleaning required.
Measurements are performed in a disposable sample container.
No cleaning required – no cross contamination.

Autoclave sterilization
Ideal for samples which must be measured in a sterile environment such as proteins.

Suitable for measurements under anaerobic conditions
Sealed sample container. This allows to perform measurements in an inert-gas atmosphere.
